more likely that you secure a social work job that is perfect for you.
Your personal brand is what people say about you when you are not in the room. It is who you are and what you do.
Using community-chosen terminology is an important means of
respecting the identities and autonomy of disabled clients and other

I do not mean to dismiss your feelings. I just want us to remember that our clients are really tired, too.
Google is exponentially powerful, and its algorithm is complex. Is it good for your social work client?

Resilient Souls Project in Chicago Through October 7 in Congress Corridor at Harold Washington Library Center
The Resilient Souls Project is a traveling photography and literary
exhibit by social worker Cathy Lander-Goldberg. The project celebrates the human spirit by following 21 women
from their teens/20s to near middle age. Each woman has written about
how she overcame a variety of life obstacles related to several social
justice issues, which are just as timely now as they were when the project started in the 1990s. Among the topics are: sexual assault, domestic
violence, immigration, and guns, as well as a variety of mental and
physical disabilities/health issues.

Voting Is Social Work The New Social Worker is participating in the National Social Work Voter Mobilization Campaign, which has its online base at VotingIsSocialWork.org. According to the website, the campaign seeks to:
- Raise awareness of the importance of voting to social work practice and social policy;
- Integrate voter engagement activities into class and field education for all micro and macro students;
- Provide information about voter mobilization skills and strategies
to field instructors, students and faculty for use in agencies and the
classroom, and
- Ensure that all the people served by social workers have access to the vote.
Are you registered to vote, and is your registration updated? You can now register at our website ( www.socialworker.com). Look for the "Rock the Vote" banner on our home page.
Write for THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER
I am seeking a limited number of articles for THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER website and magazine.
Is there an issue that you are passionate about that corresponds with
an upcoming “awareness” month, week, or day; holiday; or time of year/season? This is a good way to
identify a topic for a timely article.
Other topics of interest include: social work field placement issues, licensing, and career development.
Our style is conversational and educational, and web articles
typically run 500-750 words. Feature articles typically run 1,250-1,500 words. We want positive articles that social
workers can use to help them advance in their careers.
I also welcome submissions of poetry, photographs, illustrations, artwork, videos, audio, and other creative work depicting social work and related topics.
Submit articles to Linda Grobman with a subject line that says “Submission—(insert title or topic of submission).” Attach your
submission as a Word file. Please include in this file: title of
submission, your name as you want it to appear with your article, body
of your submission, a brief bio about yourself. I will then review your
submission and let you know if I need anything else and/or whether it is
accepted for publication.
Please email Linda Grobman with ideas for longer (1,250-1,500 words) "feature articles" for THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER magazine.
Thank you! |

insight and writes about them with the passion of a slam poet. She
speaks to the soul of social work and inspires us to think about more
than just social work."
